Arousez vo vi violette arousez vo violier.

Son ami luy donne un baiser

About Arousez voz violier
Benedictus Appenzeller's Arousez voz violier paints a tender scene of a gardener's daughter, loved for her sweet nature, receiving a kiss from her friend. The lyrics, in French, speak of a playful yet heartfelt exchange. This chanson, a secular genre popular in the Renaissance, is scored for a rich, varied ensemble of voices, encompassing STTTB, SATTB, and ATTBB. Appenzeller's setting allows for a complex and layered exploration of the text's simple, romantic sentiments, creating a vibrant and engaging musical texture through the interplay of its many parts.
